ALLIANCE COTTON EXCHANGE.

ALLIANCE COTTON EXCHANGE.
Tho Alliance cotton exchange and
cotton factory project Is resting quiet
ly, while effective work is being done
by Dallas. The Alliance committee
arc still here, and the Dallas repro
scntatives arc negotiating for suit
able lot. The money necessary is
about all subscribed, aud the lot is
now all that remains TO be arrang-
cd for. The prospect of Dallas Sc
curing these new enterprises Ia now
good; but if there is mau OF means
or property to be benefited thereby
in Dallas who has not yet contributed
his pro rata, let him be quick to call on
the Dallas committee aud add his in
fluence to this great end. If 1t is
missed at all now, it will be by the
neglect or penuriousness Of just two
or three men. BE sure that YOU do
not thus stand in the way of the city's
progress. This cotton exchange will
make Dallas the market for 100000 or
100000 bales of cotton, and also for
the supplies for two-thirds Of the Al
lance people of Texas. Then too
will follow that other and greater ac-
QUESTION, the cotton factory, which will
be constructed by the State Alliance
at cost of 100000. Every man to
the wheel now and a strong push a.
together.

PATRONS OF mUsBANDRY.
MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.

After its long trial Of twenty-one
years the Grange has stood the test and
is now one of the acknowledged perma-
nenG institutions of our country. The
only questions to be settled about IL
now are those of locality-and these
questions must be decided by each in
dividual farmer, or the farmers of any
one neighborhood, each for themselves
and they are these: ''Do l need the
benefits of this farmers organization -
"Shall my wife and children enjoy its
advantages" ''Shall we, the farmers OF
this community, for ourselves and for
our families, have Grange right hereT p
"Do we need 1t for its social advan-
tages?'' "DO we need it for its means
of education to be found in 40 other di'
rection 2" ''Do we need it for its bust
hess, or financial advantages" Do we
need it as voters, as American citizens?"
"Having done what we could to give
our neighborhuoG the advantages Of
churches and schools, have we per-
formed our whole duty to ourselves, our
community and our country until we
have made earnest effort to have good
Grange established here also?" care
we able to do what farmers are doing in
thousands of other places, maintain an
organization in our own interests and
for our own benefitY' We ask all
farmers, young and old, near and far,
to calmly, carefully, delibcrate-not
hastily-consider these questions. In
vestigate the Grange thoroughly. The
truth never suffered under the bright
est light or closest inquiry, and we fear
not the result. The Grange has ever
found the greatest opposition from those
who knew least about it. In past years
it has even had members who came in
and went out again before they had
really found ont its A B Cs. Because
the truth is becoming known, it is seen
and felt, the Grange work goes forward
under clear skies and with favorable
winds.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

FIGHTING POULTRY VERMIN IN SUM-
MHR.-Frequently the most difficult
work of the poultry man is that OF rid
ding the premises of vermin. Most
persons do not become aware OF the
presence of vermin until the little red
mites are seen in myriads. These can
easily re destroyed by using proper
methods. The great scourge of poultry
is not the mites. but the large body
louise that hides at the base of the feath-
ers, on the head and neck. AS they are
only found there on the fowls, an eX-
animation OF the quarters does not re-
veal them, when they may be busily at
work on the birds. When the hens
seem to droop wit bout apparent cause,
the chances are that close examination
on their heads and necks will reveal
swarms of these lice. Little chicks, es-
pecially those that feather very rapidly.
such as Dorkings, Games, and Leghorns,
will soon succumb to the large lice, and
often the cause will be ascribed TO some
thing else.
To prevent lice on fowls, the best
thing is the dust bath, which must con-
sist of fine dry clay or coal ashes. II the
quarters are kept clean, the hens will
prevent the attacks of lice by busting,
but when once the lice put in an APP
pearance, the poultryman is compelled
to take active measures, as the lice must
be fought until not a single one re-
mains. Kerosene must not be used on
the bodies of the hens, as it will some
times kill them. For the large body
ice, first grease the heads, necks, and
vents with mixture made by adding a
teaspoonful of crude petroleum to every
gill of lard. Use it warm, so it will
spread well. Then dust the hens well
with California or Persian Insect Pow
der. Repeat this every third day, and
dust every portion of the body, but do
not grease the body-only the heaG, neck
and vent.

"The Order Of Patrons of Husbandry
stands to-day where it can speak with
no uncertain sound, backed by twenty
one years of practical experience, an ex-
perience full of good works, always in
the vans of progress, bearing the proud
honor Of having first conceived the va
rious reforms which are to elevate not
only agricultural, but the industrial
classes OF the land and world. Who
taught the American people, and their
representatives in Congress, that "the
creature must always be subject to the
Creator" and after years of labor so ed
ucated the people, and their represen-
tatives, that it became possible to pass
the measure known as the Interstate
Commerce bill? This bill, though i'm
perfect, is glorious triumph for our
Order, and victory for the American
people, for henceforth it will be under
stood that there can be no capitalized
power in this Republic greater or more
powerful than the people. If this is
the only work the Grange ever did, it is
worth all the time and money spent in
maintaining and perpetuating the
Order"

"But the Grange is not an organiza-
ton working upon one idea. If we
should attempt TO count the good things
the Grange has already done, they are
more than the hairs of our head. Should
we seek for time when its influence
and power will cease, and there be no
more work for it to do, we shall seek in
vain as long as there is husbandman
to till the soil, or harvest to be garn-
cred ia. How hopeful the future of ag-
ricuture looks, and how safe this glor-
ious Republic. When l think the
guardians of the former and the owners
of the latter are uniting, East, West,
North, and South, meeting weekly on

wheat sold in Chicago on the 2lst at
6S;4, the lowest in twenty-five years.
At that time it cost 80 cents bushel to
get it down here, the cost now is only Is
cents. The break is the result of the
collapse of the bull clique. We think it
a great misfortune for the country.
Low prices for grain is keeping the
farmer poor, and while he is poor we do
not think there can be any prosperity.
The wheat bears are like the railroad
wreckers of Wall street. Their grain is
the very blood of the producers. They
are running him and feeding Europe
with cheap food. The press of this
town is constantly pressing the claims
OF the consumers. and ignoring those Of
the producer. T. low price for wheat
is closing the markets of the continent.
To protect their farmers, Germany,
Franco, Spain and Italy have put an al
most prohibitory tariff on wheat. If
we lose those markets we can thank the
bears in grain. The low price here has
made low prices there. Chicago Paper.
True enough, and be it remembered the
Grange is using its efforts to secure leg
islation to prohibit gambling son
change" in farmers products.

THE first cushion CarrOm matches in
New York were the result of dispute
between Schacfcr and myself about the
merits and dement's of the open game.
We talked it over until we hit upon the
idea of going to the cushion before max
ing a caTrOm, which would bar out rail
playing, and then played a series of
matches to test it. Schacfer won the
first game by points in 400. but after
that beat him four successive games of
500 points each, the first by II, second
by %, third by 30. and fourth by Ga
points. then defeated SlOsson by II
points in 500. Playing with DAILY, | won
the first and he won the second game.
Since then the balk-line gumc has been
introduced, but it is not very popular 1t
is too much trouble to mark off the
tables in a public billiard hall Players
want to put the balls on the table and go
at il with as little bother as possible,
and you don't find them practising the
balk-line game. 1t is a poor game for
the spectators at a tournament, because
only few can get near enough to see
and appreciate the fine shots. A ball
may be played so as to stop just outside
of the line, and the play may be very
enough to see the lines and notice the
closencss of the play you cannot appre-
ciate the merit of the shot The speCta-
tors lose the very best features of the
balk-line game, and it becomes dull and
uninleresting 10 them. They may see
what appears to be q brilliant rOundthe-
table shot, and be ready to applaud, but
the balls stop inside the lines. the shot

ion carrOms is the best game for public
matches. after all. 1t gives plenty of
scope for players skill, and the spec
tatOrs have no difficulty in recognizing
the fine points and brilliant shots. while
at the same time the monotonous nursing
is done away with and immense runs are
made impossible. 1t is game that can
be played upon any table by anybody
who can play billiards at ALL
Almost anybody can learn to play
billiards by going the right way about
it, and nearly everybody does try to
learn in some fashion. The fascination
of the game is in its infinite variety of
combinations and situations requiring
the exercise of Judgment and accuracy
of calculation. 1t is always new to the
oldest player, and the most skillful play
er in the world cannot exhaust the posi-
bilities Of the game. The things that
can be done with billiard balls are
wonderful and some of them seem i'm
possible. Schaefer, whom | consider
the best all round player and the best
fancy shot in the world can make bill
lard ball do anything but talk. The
balls cannot be placed upon the table in
such position that he cannot make a
counting shot. But one does not need
to acquire the skill of SChacfer in order
to enjoy the game, any more than he
need be an Ole Bull to enjoy violin play

A DIFFICULT SHOT.

Cleopatra played sort of billiards in
l,gvpt. and Cahirc More. one OF the
original kings OF Ireland, was so devoted
to billiards that he spent most of his
time. when he wasn't lighting some 9th.
er kings of Ireland, dscounting his
cOurticrs, and when he died left fifty
billiard balls of brass, with pools and
cues of the same materials, according
to veracOus historians. II" knights
Tcmplars, when they returned from the
first crusade to the Holy Land, brought
the game to England and made it popu-
lar even among the monks of that period
When the order of Tcmp!arS was over
thrown by Philip OF France. the game
disappeared for time from England. II
was introduced into France in the time
Of Louis XI. in an improved form. Dur
ing the reign of one of the Henrys a
Partisan artisan named Nigue built for
the king a billiard table with bed of
stone covered with cloth, the first table
of the kind on record. As the game was
then played, the object was to drive the
balls into II hole in the middle of the
table, and the idea of having pockets
probably had its original in that old
French game. James |. of England was
something of billiard sharp. as appears
from the following note in the accounts
of his eXChequer:
